With full details for all the participants etc and revisions the scientific data is probably quite a lot, so I can imagine that the blanked "we want all documents!" is actually the claimed 300k pages by some metric. But obviously "and it's ok if we only prepare 500 pages per month for release" is a very questionable position to take in such a situation, even if legal. Smells like usual bureaucracy crap, with no sense for the somewhat special situation here.
